The verdict

Merit Electric runs at 124% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Electrician workplace, earning a grade D.

Merit Electric: 3.5 TCR = 124% of Electrician BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Merit Electric safety composite

Merit Electric scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 36%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
